I'd like to thank everyone who has replied, offering translation help, as well as their thoughts on this matter: Sonnich Jensen (who replied by e-mail), Carsten, Jacob, and Bruce. I plan to send the website an e-mail expressing my concern, and asking for some recognition and a link. I know this is a lot to ask, but would anyone consider translating this letter into Danish for me? Barring that, if I send this e-mail in English-only, what do you think are the chances it will be understood. Much appreciated, -Rev. Smith PS: Here is the text of the e-mail... ============================== Greetings. Part of your website has recently been brought to my attention due to its striking similarity to part of my own. Specifically I am refering to the story of Jesus's birth as illustrated in a series of LEGO images: http://www.ung-jul.church.dk/Englen_Gabriel.1163.0.html While anyone can illustrate Bible stories in LEGO, in this case it is quite clear that the work presented on your website is an image-for-image replication of my work presented here: http://bricktestament.com/the_gospels/jesus_is_born/mt01_18_lk01_26.html which has been available to the public on the internet since December 2001, and is part of my larger series of LEGO illustrated Bible stories: http://bricktestament.com What concerns me is that your website presents your illustrated LEGO story as an original idea which its builder, Glenn, got on his own. A simple side-by-side comparison of the two websites reveals that this could not have been the case. Each image of Glenn's work is clearly based on one of mine, and its telling of the Nativity story *exactly* parallels mine. I would very much appreciate if you would give credit to Glenn's inspiration, my website, The Brick Testament, and provide a link to it: http://bricktestament.com particularly the story he has made his own rendition of: http://bricktestament.com/the_gospels/jesus_is_born/mt01_18_lk01_26.html Thank you, -The Rev. Brendan Powell Smith ==============================

		Danish Translation: Re: Danish Brick Testament-esque nativity story
Hi Brendan, I would expect most Danes to at least read and understand English, but anyway, here is a paragraph-by-paragraph translation: Greetings. *Vær hilset.

		Danish Brick Testament-esque nativity story
Hi, all. Someone e-mailed me today to bring my attention to a website that is "ripping off material" from The Brick Testament: (URL) to say, the phrasing of the e-mail was a little disconcerting, so I followed the link. The site is in Danish, so I (...) (22 years ago, 15-Nov-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build.ancient, lugnet.loc.dk)
